This is from yesterday’s Google Hangout on higher education and the Senate bill, hosted by Terri Bonoff (DFL-Minnetonka), who is the chairwoman of the Senate’s higher-education committee.

I’m the MPR guy who couldn’t make it (baby issues), but above is the video of the chat. The quality of the streaming is iffy at times, but the technology does seem to have some promise. (FYI, Bonoff has been pretty up on using social media and tech in general.)
